A great film and great acting in both lead roles. Must say halle berry is simply great!!! give this a watch and be surprised!!! I have no idea why this never won any awards. Its nothing like the film Sybil, that everyone thinks about when it comes to MPD.

First of all, let me assure you that I have absolutely no financial ties to this movie. That being said, let me tell you that I do now have a PSYCHOLOGICAL tie to this movie. By now, you know that this is a split- personality movie. Joanne Woodward won an Oscar for "Three Faces of Eve"; Sally Field won an Emmy for "Sybil". HALLE BERRY IS BETTER!!! Watch her performance, and, without CGI or special effects, you'll see her change from an "exotic dancer (ie: stripper)", to a racist, to a little girl. You'll be sucked in to the story. Then you'll be on the edge of your seat with tears in your eyes when, at the end, the terrible crisis from her youth is starkly revealed. And yet, the written epilogue just before the closing credits is uplifting and hopeful. If EVER there was a "must-see" movie, THIS IS IT!!

I love this movie. It was intriguing, suspenseful, and unpredictable. One of the few films I've watched that I couldn't guess what was going to happen next.

This movie is very under rated and sold short by the critics. Halle Berry does a wonderful job portraying a woman with multiple personalities. Stellan Skarsgård turns in a great preformance as the doctor who helps her control her changing circumstances. A must watch film.

I had to travel to the West side to see this movie which I never do for a movie, but I heard it was sooo good and we were celebrating my girlfriend's birthday so, perfect. Hally did not have a bad scene in this movie. She was on point all the way through. I said to my friends "Halle done growed up!" This is her best acting role ever and she was great. Proud of her growth as an actress. My three other girlfriends also loved it and were thoroughly entralled with her acting and so were other attendees that we spoke to in the lobby. Am happy with her Golden Globe nomination. Now on to the Oscars. I hope this movie get wider exposure. It is definitely worth seeing. Thanks

Excellent realistic portrayal of dissociative identity disorder, how often it is missed, misdiagnosed, and misunderstood even in the medical community, how impossibly difficult it makes life, how painfully difficult it is to heal to at least partial integration. Often caused by an extreme traumatic event, healing means remembering, which means actually reliving the event(s). Flashbacks are *being* there again, with all senses. However, it does take longer to break through than portrayed, often years.

The story telling is gripping; Ms. Berry's performance is top notch. She deserves another Oscar for this film! The only small imperfection is the psychiatrist's performance. Somehow he seems a bit distracted. But the rest is beautifully done. I regret waiting so long to watch this movie.

This Movie was quite an experience to see. Halle Berry definitely deserved another Oscar for this Movie. Played the hell out of her character. Better than I thought it would be. Halle Berry will forever be one of the Greatest in the screen.
